  1. sorry 'bout that. i dont' have abs so don't have that second box. maybe it is the abs box?
  2. I paid quite a lot for mine as I cbf'd running around getting the best price on that after having my tyres fitted. It was $70 front and rear to my camber settings. I've been quoted everything from $30-70. How much do u guys usually pay? and from where?
  3. Camera: Canon 30D Lenses: Canon 24-70L f2.8, Sigma 30mm f1.4, Canon 580EX (flash) Price Range: $1800 30D body, $2000 24-70L, $550 30mm Like? Extremely fast startup (0.15s), awesome picture quality, low noise at high ISO, magnesium body (can take a hard knock), fast and accurate a/f, has enough extra options for me to use. Dislike? 1.6x crop factor, not weatherproof, would like it to be a 1dsMkIII =( Rating: 9/10 - I love it. Sample picture: Will post when I'm at home.
  4. i'm almost certain that the rectangular one is the HICAS control unit. the round one is the standard amp.
  5. For some reason, one of my wheel lock nuts is missing on the front right wheel. Just wondering what the thread pattern is on the wheel nuts so I can go out and get a new set.
  6. could possibly need a realignment. sounds like ur camber is out. have u lowered ur car since the last time u got a realignment?
  7. mine clunks into second and sometimes third when cold. after its warm it feels fine.
  8. Just after the centre twin cam cover for an RB20. Melbourne preferred.
  9. I was just wondering if petrol has been left in a tank for 4+ weeks whether it would sitll hold the same octane rating and if the car will still act the same way as with a tank of fresh petrol?
  10. Out of curiosity, which tuner did u take it to? u can pm it to me if u don't want it on the forums. i'm also having my gtsLink tuned right now and have yet to see the results.
  11. i've had these tyres (225/50/16) on my car for about 150-200kms. felt like i was driving on ice for the first 50km. even after about 200km they're already gripping better than the old maxxis tyres i had and don't spin up when on boost.
  12. very interesting read as i need new pads soon too. just wondering if anyone knows a ball park figure of how much the RB74's are for a front set?
  13. the family of one of my closest friends has '8' and '88'. they don't put the plates on their cars anymore cos of the constant attention/questions/jealousy that is thrown at them when driving around. kinda sad really.
  14. Found a set of injectors.
  15. After a set of 6 clean GTR injectors to go into an RB20 as mine are stuffed. I'm in Melbourne. Dan 0402502537 dan.1337@gmail.com
  16. Agreed again. My family friend used to work for them and his work was always second to none. Pricey, but u get what u pay for.
  17. It's alright. I've found one. Dan
  18. Anyone else have one for sale?
  19. Thanks paulr33! http://www.nengun.com/nismo/fuel-regulator ^ which one do i need? =S Is it the first or second one?
  20. I called Nissan and got the answer to the first part of my question - $176.60 with a 'few' weeks wait as it has to be shipped from Japan. How much should I expect to pay for a second hand one?
  21. Just wondering how much an OEM nissan fuel pressure regulator will cost from Nissan? How much should i expect to pay for a second hand one so I don't get ripped off? Thanks in advance!
  22. I need a working r32 gts-t fuel pressure regulator quite urgently. I'm located in Melbourne and will pick it up or pay for postage if interstate. dan.1337@gmail.com 0402502537 - Dan
  23. TurboX, i don't think i have any oil leaks from the engine. I only know of leaks at the rear of the gearbox, power steering rack and a tiny bit from the turbo. It wasn't making any clattering sounds either. It actually sounds quite smooth which is why i'm surprised all these issues seem to have sprung up. Rancher, The ECU (Link) was a home job done by the previous owner and apparantely it wasn't plugged into the MAP sensor and there were all these hoses n shit which weren't properly plugged in. I was also told that so much petrol was going thru the engine (50L/220km) that i could have done damage to the engine. I'm not sure how true that is as the unburnt petrol was just being spat out the exhaust onto my driveway anyway. I was also told there's also a few air leaks here and there. Now the motor is running on the stock ECU, I'll get the leakdown to see what may need to be done. I was recommended this guy from a friend who was extremely happy with the service given to him so I'll see what he comes up with after the leakdown. If it sounds ridiculous i'll get a second opinion. James_03, that's actually a good idea. I'll have a look into it as i'm not desperate to get it fixed right away anyway. Just in general, how strong are the RB20's? Can they take a lot of abuse thrown at them?
  24. thanks for the replies...i thought the price was a bit wtf considering i saw a good r34 gtr engine being sold recently for $10k on SAU and many rb26dett's for less. its by this workshop called Promech in Richmond. i took my car there for a tune and apparantely my ECU wasn't hooked up properly (previous owner) which caused it to run extremely rich and it looks like the engine is in REALLY bad shape from it along with other niggling engine issues. a leakdown/comp test will be done next week to determine the health of my engine and i've just been preparing for the worst. it seems like my options are to rebuild, get another rb20 or drop in an rb25. what a money pit =| i might post this next question in the Vic forum, but does anyone know of any reputable workshops in melbourne who will do good rebuilds/swaps for decent prices? *edit* also, as much as i'd love to do a rebuild in my own garage, i lack the mechanical and technical knowledge to do so =(
  25. It looks like my RB20 will have to be rebuilt due to some large issues its having. atm i'm looking at the worst case scenario and getting it rebuilt from ground up and was wondering how much it'd cost me. I was quoted around $10k inc labour to use all nissan factory parts and return it to pretty much a stock condition...which i thought was HEAPS. much more that i'd be willing to pay considering my car isn't even worth that much. Can anyone enlighten me on how much i should expect to pay for a decent rebuild and what's involved in it? Much appreciated.
